More Smiles for our Sterling area Children

Another great big thank you to our charitable members and CCU staff in the Sterling area! Our Sterling branch is hosting a Toys for Tots dropoff box this year and are happy to announce that the toys keep coming in. To put a smile on a child's face Christmas morning is part of the joy of the holiday season. Feel free to drop off your unwrapped, new toy or clothing and know it is very much appreciated by our families in need.

Thank you for your Salvation Army Angel Tree Donations!

Thanks to our generous members and CCU staff, many area children will receive toys and/or clothes under the tree this year. Making sure children don't have to go without is both a gift for the child and the giver. We appreciate your kindness and wish you a wonderful holiday season.Pictured: Back row - Lisa Przytulski, Nikki Palas, Alix Kloepping, Julie Warren, Ashley Dietmeier, Lisa Miller; Front row - Tarrah Hawes, Jason Barklow, Julie Smith, Samantha Meyers and Katy Musser.

Thankful Thursdays leads to a Happy Thanksgiving for members

Throughout the year, the CCU team has the choice of donating $5/mo to a fund that allows our Community Relations team to help some members enjoy a Happier Thanksgiving. With the money raised this year, the team was able to assemble 25 bountiful baskets complete with a Thanksgiving meal and more. They purchase the food and materials, assemble the baskets, communicate with the members and deliver the baskets.

A Bewitching Good Time at Krape Park

Several Cornerstone CU team members dressed as witches (good, of course) to greet the many costumed kids and folks who passed through the Trick or Treat trail at Krape Park on Saturday, October 28, 2017. Visitors received candy and gifts from this delightful brood of enchantresses. We hope you enjoyed your time as much as we did!

Another Successful Community Shred Day

Protecting one's identity is so important and this event is one way Cornerstone CU can help you be a little safer.150+ vehicles brought 2700 pounds of sensitive personal information to shred for free on October 21 in Freeport. We encourage you to keep in mind all of the other ways you can prevent identity theft:

Reveling in Fiesta Day Festivities

Cornerstone Credit Union goes all out for this tradition in the Sterling/Rock Falls area. Celebrating Mexican Independence Day, this week-long event also honors the variety of rich and colorful cultural contributions that Hispanics brought to this region with music, food, art, dance and more. The Fiesta Day Parade is its 65th and brings out some extraordinary floats for the community to enjoy. We are proud to say that the CCU float once again took 3rd place, out of 97 floats this year.

Celebrating South Beloit's Centennial

Cornerstone Credit Union was a proud corporate sponsor of the South Beloit Centennial Celebration, held Aug. 24 – 27, 2017. Cornerstone staff and board members participated in the Centennial parade down Blackhawk Blvd. Saturday morning. Following the parade, we handed out free SOBO Centennial commemorative tote bags (with a special CCU gift inside) to attendees of the Annual Firefighter’s Corn Boil in City Park. As South Beloit’s only credit union, CCU is excited to be part of this great community and congratulates South Beloit on its 100th Birthday!

Helping the Sterling community with a Free Shred Day
